This final environmental impact statement presents the recommended plan of improvement consisting of the following: dredging an entrance channel, 300 feet wide and 10 feet deep through the offshore bar, a distance of approximately 3,000 feet; dredging an inner channel, 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep for a distance of 1,850 feet then, 90 feet wide and 8 feet deep to the major berthing area at old Army crash boat dock, a distance of 13,590 feet where it would terminate in a turning basin 300 feet long and 150 feet wide; dredging a deposition basin 18 feet deep adjacent to the weir section of the north jetty; constructing a north jetty 3,455 feet long with a low weir section for sand bypassing; constructing a south jetty 3,330 feet long; constructing a fishing walkway on top of the south jetty; and constructing sand dikes on both sides of the inlet to tie the jetties to the existing dune line.
